Male Nanny Li Shouji
Their lips were just a millimeter apart when a voice spoke.
Xiaoguo suddenly regained her senses and pushed Jiang Danhe away.
Jiang Danhe almost broke down in frustration. He was so close, so close!!!
Xiaoguo’s heart was in turmoil. She did not dare to look at Jiang Danhe at all as she frantically wondered what she had just done.
If there was a hole in the ground, Xiaoguo really wanted to crawl into it and hide.
At that moment, she heard the same sound coming from beside the bed.
Xiaoguo ran to the bed and realized that Zhuang Zhuang had accidentally knocked over the pillow in his sleep. Now, he had kicked off the blanket.
Helpless, Xiaoguo picked up the pillow and covered him with the blanket.
Jiang Danhe also came over to see what had interrupted them. It was actually the pillow and blanket that Zhuang Zhuang had kicked off the bed. “Sigh…”
Jiang Danhe thought to himself that having a son was not as good as having a daughter.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of his daughter. He wanted to ask Xiaoguo about her. It was also a little strange that neither Xiaoguo nor Zhuang Zhuang had said anything about his daughter.
After Xiaoguo covered the two children with a blanket, she sat on the bed. When she turned around, she saw Jiang Danhe and did something which she regretted for a long time.
It was also something which Jiang Danhe teased her for until she was seventy years old.
The moment Xiaoguo saw Jiang Danhe, she hid behind the bed curtains.
Xiaoguo was behaving like an ostrich in front of Jiang Danhe’s eyes. By hiding herself, she thought that Jiang Danhe could no longer see her.
When Jiang Danhe saw this, he held back his laughter. If he were to laugh now, he would never be able to get close to Xiaoguo again.
Even if he wanted to ask about his daughter now, Jiang Danhe knew that it was not the right time. It would be better to ask Xiaoguo at a later date.
Jiang Danhe left the room with heavy footsteps to let Xiaoguo know that he had left.
Before leaving, Jiang Danhe looked back at Xiaoguo. The corners of his mouth curled up as he shook his head gently. She was really too cute.
Xiaoguo hid behind the bed curtains and waited until there was no movement outside before she slowly came out.
“Ah!” Xiaoguo covered her face and cried out silently. How embarrassing. She had really embarrassed herself today.
“Hmm…”
A voice sounded.
Xiaoguo immediately sat up straight and looked straight ahead, pretending that nothing had happened.
She was relieved when she didn’t hear anything else after a while. She turned to look for the source of the voice.
Eventually, she found the source of the sound. It was the sound of Zhuang Zhuang and Xiaoyi rolling over.
Xiaoguo breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought the two children had seen them but it was just them gurgling in their sleep. She was so relieved.
–
Xiaoguo was packing her clothes in the house when Zhuang Zhuang and Xiaoyi ran in from outside, holding hands. Each of them was holding a stick of candied hawthorn.
“Mother, Mother, are we going to the night market tonight?”
Xiaoguo folded the clothes and found Zhuang Zhuang’s words strange. “To the night market?”
“That’s right.”
Zhuang Zhuang nodded. Xiaoyi continued, “General Jiang said that we will set off for the night market after dinner tonight.”
For this reason, Xiaoyi even chased away the servants who were supposed to bring him back to the palace. He was planning to go to the night market with them and stay the night with Zhuang Zhuang.
Seeing how happy the two children were, Xiaoguo couldn’t help but feel happy too. A night market, an ancient night market…
“Okay, let’s go to the night market tonight.”
Zhuang Zhuang and Wen Xiaoyi nodded. “Yes!”
As dusk fell, the group set off for the night market in a carriage.
It was a different scene in the capital at night.
In the ancient night market, although there were no colorful electric lights, the beautiful lanterns hanging from the stalls lit up the streets very brightly. Moreover, the lanterns came in all sorts of designs and shapes.
The men and women here were not very guarded, and there was no curfew at night. Many young ladies were also out and about in the night market.
The girls traveled in groups of two or three. There were also talented scholars reciting poems and painting in front of various stalls.
Xiaoguo lifted the curtain and looked out. The streets were already very lively during the day. She did not expect it to be still so crowded at night.
The group got out of the carriage together. Zhuang Zhuang and Xiaoyi were about to hold Xiaoguo’s hand when Jiang Danhe kicked Li Shouji, who was stretching beside him, to the side of the two children. That separated the two children from Xiaoguo.
Li Shouji stared at Jiang Danhe with wide eyes. He suddenly had a bad feeling…
“Ahem, wife, let Li Shouji bring the two children over there. The two of us will walk this way, and all of us will gather here later. How about that?”
Jiang Danhe pointed out two directions and looked at Xiaoguo expectantly.
Xiaoguo looked at him and hesitated. She couldn’t make a decision herself. She decided to ask Zhuang Zhuang and the others. “Zhuang Zhuang, Xiaoyi, what do you think?”
Zhuang Zhuang and Wen Xiaoyi were naturally unhappy. They would rather hold their mother’s soft and smooth hands and walk around the night market happily. Why would they choose to hold his rough and dark hand?
Before the two kids could shake their heads. Jiang Danhe beat them to it. “There are a lot of snacks sold along this road.”
Zhuang Zhuang and Wen Xiaoyi looked at Jiang Danhe at the same time and swallowed their saliva. “Snacks…”
Jiang Danhe looked at the two children sincerely, trying to tell them that he was not spouting nonsense. There were indeed a lot of snacks…
Zhuang Zhuang and Wen Xiaoyi looked at each other and nodded. They have decided.
“Mother, don’t worry. Xiaoyi and I will definitely hold on to Uncle Shouji’s hands tightly!”
Xiaoyi nodded in agreement, trying to reassure Xiaoguo.
Without waiting for Xiaoguo to speak, the two children walked to either side of Li Shouji, whose face was filled with question marks. Then, they raised their hands and grabbed him tightly, pulling him forward with all their might.
“Desserts, snacks, here we come!”
“Sigh…”
Xiaoguo was about to stop the three of them when Jiang Danhe stopped her. “It’s okay. Li Shouji is very reliable. Don’t worry, we’ll go this way.”
Jiang Danhe took Xiaoguo’s hand first and walked towards the brightly lit area on the other side.
Xiaoguo tried to pull her hand away but to no avail. Jiang Danhe felt her struggling and subconsciously tightened his grip on her hand.
Xiaoguo knew that he would not let go, so she gave up struggling. “So be it.”
After Jiang Danhe had succeeded, he smiled and slowed down his pace to match that of Xiaoguo. The two of them kept a close distance, walking in sync.
On the other side, Li Shouji glared at Jiang Danhe. When he could no longer see him, he gave up struggling and let the two little children drag him forward.
So that was why. He was wondering why Jiang Danhe was so kind as to bring him to the night market. It turned out that he was harboring ill intentions.
After a busy day, he was about to go back to his room to pack up and go to bed after dinner. Unexpectedly, Jiang Danhe suddenly invited him to go to the night market with him. He didn’t think too much about it and followed him. However, he didn’t expect that Jiang Danhe had brought him here to babysit!
At this moment, he finally understood why Jiang Danhe had looked at him with such an ambiguous gaze. It was actually guilt in his eyes!
At this moment, Li Shouji was like a numb money machine. As soon as the two little ancestors stopped, he knew that he had to pay.
Now he knew why Jiang Danhe had asked him to bring more money before leaving…
